Bring/Trade/Take for Your Spring Garden at the Winter Conference Seed Swap

This year’s Winter Conference will feature a Seed Swap! The Seed Swap Table is where conference attendees can exchange seeds and diversify their gardens and farms with unique and regionally adapted varieties. The swap is open to all conference participants, from home gardeners to experienced growers. Participants are invited to bring labeled seeds to share and take home new seeds to try. The swap operates on a trust-based, give-and-take system — bring what you can and take what sparks your interest.

HOW IT WORKS

Bring Seeds to Share (If You Can)

If you have extra seeds, label them clearly with the variety, year harvested, and any growing notes. Organic, untreated, and non-GMO seeds are encouraged.

Browse & Take Seeds

Look through the available seeds and take what interests you. Use the provided empty packets and measuring spoons to portion seeds responsibly — leave enough for others!

Label & Leave Seeds for Others

If you’re contributing seeds, make sure they are labeled. Blank packets are available if needed. Place your seeds on the table for others to find.

Ask Questions & Share Knowledge

Not sure what to take? Ask a fellow attendee! This is a great place to learn about new varieties and growing techniques.

Enjoy & Grow Something New!

Take your seeds home and plant them! If you have extra seeds left at the end, consider leaving them to share with others beyond the conference.
